I liked the lighting on these fields and the textures of the bare trees. This is a view towards Leam Farm and Leam Hall, on the north-east flank of Eyam Moor and Sir William Hill near Hathersage, in the Peak District, Derbyshire. Lose Hill and the Kinderscout plateau are visible in the far distance. The photo was taken from the old gritstone quarries above Nether Padley at Hay Wood, a northern continuation of Froggatt Edge.

The southern end of Stanage Edge, the longest of the Eastern Edges, in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire. Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded, and intraformational erosion surfaces are common. The Edge has been worked for millstones in several places and examples such as these can be found in many places, lying where they were abandoned when the demand for imported French stones rose in the latter part of the 19th century.

View south-east from Moscar Moor - the low boggy ground between Bamford Edge and Stanage Edge (rocks on left).

Carl Wark in the centre of the picture is part natural outcrop, part Neolithic hill fort. View south illuminated by late afternoon sun. This landscape is within the Sheffield city limits. Aren't we lucky! See where this picture was taken. [?]

Evening sunshine over Derwentwater. Causey Pike, Grisedale Pike and the Coledale fells in the distance.
